- santoshalper 2y agoMuch more likely is that self-reporting is notoriously unreliable and "paycheck to paycheck" is a state of mind.
- astrange 2y agoWe're better at doing surveys than that. If you look in the details of the "paycheck to paycheck" surveys, people reporting they make 200k+ a year also say yes to that, so I think it's just unclear what they think it means.
